In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.
